Inspiration is just not hitting me. I have truly gone on vacation and that includes the blog. I mean, it's 3 pm and I've hardly just finished breakfast. (Which looked like this today. I couldn't finish it; I had to have oatmeal. I am simply not someone who can have only fruit for one meal; yes, it's an experiment - short-lived, at that. But I solved the whole crossword puzzle! Yay!)

I am now wondering if I should just make it official. Just say to heck with blogging 365 days and say nothing happening here, folks, move along. I mean, the most exciting thing I'm up to these days is watching all 16 episodes of "Surface" on DVD (9 down, 7 to go).

My absence would be only temporary. I'm sure that the moment I leave the house and actually do something (besides show up at the grocery store as the Official Offerer of a Ten Kroner Piece so shoppers without the correct coin can get a cart when I'm done with my cart), I'll have something interesting to say.

So let's just give this blogging a rest for about a week, say, shall we?

…

You know, I'm really trying to talk myself into taking a break…

…

Why do I feel guilty?

…

Watch this space. Who knows what'll happen?

I gave up on 365 a while back and don't feel guilty at all. Didn't blog yesterday and might not again today! Well, I haven't read the news yet, so...

I've managed to keep it up for more than 6 months! It's a RECORD! But I'm constantly tripping over something on the web, so…

It is impressive that you have done this so religiously. Give yourself a well deserved break and don't feel guilty.

Thanks, Jon. I think I'll be a perfectionist in some other area of my life, than this blog. :-)

I was a big fan of Surface when it was on -- it was such a bummer to hear it had been cancelled.

I saw some ads for it here, but it was aired during odd hours, so I missed it. When I saw the DVD-set on sale, I took a chance. Some of it's hokey, but I like the characters and the little critter, and the plot's intelligent and fast-paced enough to keep me entertained.

Cleaning out my surf-box

-
I have a folder in my mail application, labelled "surf" into which goes e-mails containing links to sites to read or explore later. Most of the mails are from myself to myself. Here are some gems worth sharing: It’s not what you plan to do that comes first, it’s what you’re willing to give up to make time and space to do it. From the Lifehack article Letting Things Go , which is a good read for us procrastinators. It touches on one reason we don't do what we want to do: We simply don't make the time for it. Somewhat related to the above is Merlin Mann's suggestion for getting a fresh start by replacing one project . Find something that gets you really excited and makes you feel energized and hopeful about the prospects in your life. Pretend for a moment that you can finally scratch an itch that you may never have acknowledged until now. [...] Excise something stupid, and undertake something cool.

Brave enough, after all

Prologue : I am no longer on partial sick leave. I am considered well and am back to work 100%! I have new tasks but am the master of my day, even though my work calendar has never been as full as it is now! Now: I was tasked with teaching some part-time workers about what a beta tester does at work, the temporary position I was in for over 18 months while on partial sick leave. And having not ever done this before, I was easily driving myself crazy. Eventually, after trying to plan the lesson and more or less succeeding, I got to a point where I started to settle down. Where I realized that it was hard to know if I was doing this right because it had never been done before. There is no measure for success for this yet. It started with a couple of things: A visit to my doctor's where I realized that "Trust, not doubt" (in Norwegian: "Tillit, ikke tvil") was my new mantra or motto. That was followed by an instruction from an online course that read, &quo
